Skyrim Patch 1.4.26 Now in Beta

Call it the Skyrim Steam Workshop patch. The latest update for Bethesda's open world wonder is now available for download in beta form, and it brings some quick fixes to those of you embracing the work of the Skyrim modding community.

Todd Howard recently pointed out to Game Informer that Bethesda has already patched Skyrim more than it updated Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, stating, "We're really committed to fixing everything."

And the fixing continues today with Skyrim update 1.4.26. Now in beta, the patch most notably removes the 50 mod cap. The full patch features:

Launcher:

Fixed issue with downloading mods when you are subscribed to more than 50 mods

Fixed crash when loading a subscribed mod that has been removed from Workshop by the author

Mod load order functionality

Fixed occasional crashes when loading a save that relies on plugins/master files that no longer exist

Fixed issue where controls would become unresponsive while charging an enchanted weapon

Fixed issue where controls would occasionally become unresponsive while switching from third to first person while using the Arcane Enchanter

Fixed issue where controls would become unresponsive if activating a crafting station with autorun active

Fixed issue where keyboard would fail if Rename Item was selected before choosing the number of charges, while using Arcane Enchanter

Fixed several issues with remapping buttons while using an Xbox 360 controller

Fixed issue where pressing Escape button after fast traveling but before the loading would cause certain menus to stop working properly
